Rating:  - The BEST MODEM of its day
Can't believe that upgrading my generic 56k modem to this showed a performance gain of up to 250%. Yes, 2.5x!! The generic modem, which most of have nowadays is pathetic. The connection speed is greater and the hardware chip set is phenomenal.
Rating: - The most solid 56k connection you will get.

I think the people who are having problems with this modem are probably newbies messing with things that should be left alone. This is a hardware modem and it doesn't need a software program to run like ... Read More
Rating: - Outstanding modem
I have never had a single disconnect when using this modem under Linux. I can't say the same for the other OS I used to use. This is a great modem.
